Include a splash of elderflower liqueur for a subtle floral undertone.
Add a dash of fresh lemon or lime juice for an extra layer of citrus brightness.
Customize the sweetness level by adjusting the amount of honey or agave syrup to your taste.
Try it with…
This is my absolute favorite kind of breakfast: bold, beefy, and completely satisfying. Imagine a hot skillet of juicy ribeye, sautéed peppers, sweet onions, and melty provolone all wrapped in a fluffy omelet. It’s like steak and eggs had a cheesesteak baby—and honestly, it might ruin regular omelets for you forever.
